The UAE warning states that the applicant is a commercial entity with limited community support coming largely from one country, not the International Islamic community. It notes the size and diversity of the community and the difficulty to represent it, especially by commercial entities. It notes that it could support this string if it was submitted by a reputable IGO with community support.<ref>[https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/22938690/Islam-AE-23450.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1353451745000 Islam AE, GACweb.ICANN.org] Retrieved 26 Nov 2012</ref>
